RICHMOND – Owners of wolf-dog hybrids may have reason to worry in the near future, as both the Senate and the House have approved Senate Bill 444 authorizing any locality to prohibit, by ordinance, the keeping of hybrid canines.

Sen. Thomas Norment Jr., R-Williamsburg, proposed the bill because of an incident that occurred last year in his district.
